Abstract Background and Aims Beta-blockers reduce mortality and morbidity in patients with heart failure (HF) with reduced ejection fraction (HFrEF). However, patients with advanced chronic kidney disease (CKD) were underrepresented in landmark trials. We evaluated if beta-blockers are associated with improved survival in patients with HFrEF and advanced CKD. Method We identified 3906 persons with an ejection fraction <40% and advanced CKD (eGFR <30 mL/min/1.73m2) enrolled in the Swedish Heart Failure Registry during 2001-2016. The associations between beta-blocker use, 5-year all-cause mortality, and the composite of time to cardiovascular (CV) mortality/first HF hospitalization were assessed by multivariable Cox regression. Analyses were adjusted for 36 variables, including demographics, laboratory measures, comorbidities, medication use, medical procedures, and socioeconomic status. To assess consistency, the same analyses were performed in a positive control cohort of 12,673 patients with moderate CKD (eGFR <60-30 mL/min/1.73m2). Results The majority (89%) of individuals with HFrEF and advanced CKD received treatment with beta-blockers. Median (IQR) age was 81 (74-86) years, 36% were women and median eGFR was 26 (20-28) mL/min/173m2. During 5 years of follow-up, 2086 (53.4%) individuals had a subsequent HF hospitalization, and 2954 (75.6%) individuals died, of which 2089 (70.1%) due to cardiovascular causes. Beta-blocker use was associated with a significant reduction in 5-year all-cause mortality [adjusted hazard ratio (HR) 0.86; 95% confidence interval (CI) 0.76-0.96)] and CV mortality/HF hospitalization (HR 0.87; 95% CI 0.77-0.98). The magnitude of the associations between beta-blocker use and outcomes was similar to that observed for HFrEF patients with mild/moderate CKD, with adjusted HRs for all-cause mortality and CV mortality/HF hospitalization of 0.85 (95% CI 0.78-0.91) and 0.88 (95% CI 0.82-0.96), respectively. Conclusion Despite lack of trial evidence, the use of beta-blockers in patients with HFrEF and advanced CKD was high in routine Swedish care, and was independently associated with reduced mortality to the same degree as HFrEF with moderate CKD.

Abstract Aims We assessed the efficacy of add-on drugs in patients with heart failure with reduced ejection fraction (HFrEF) and concomitant chronic kidney disease (CKD) already receiving neurohormonal inhibition (NEUi). Methods and results The literature was systematically searched for phase 3 randomized controlled trials (RCTs) involving ≥90% patients with left ventricular ejection fraction <45%, of whom <30% were acutely decompensated, and with published information about the subgroup of estimated glomerular filtration rate <60 ml/min/1.73 m2. Six RCTs were included in a study-level network meta-analysis evaluating the effect of NEUi, ivabradine, angiotensin receptor-neprilysin inhibitor (ARNI), sodium-glucose cotransporter-2 inhibitors (SGLT2i), vericiguat, and omecamtiv mecarbil (OM) on a composite outcome of cardiovascular death or hospitalization for heart failure. In a fixed-effects model, SGLT2i (HR: 0.78, 95% CrI: 0.69–0.89), ARNI (HR: 0.79, 95% CrI: 0.69–0.90), and ivabradine (HR: 0.82, 95% CrI: 0.69–0.98) decreased the risk of the composite outcome vs. NEUi, whereas OM did not (HR: 0.98, 95% CrI: 0.89–1.10). A trend for improved outcome was also found for vericiguat (HR: 0.90, 95% CrI: 0.80–1.00). In indirect comparisons, both SLGT2i (HR: 0.80, 95% CrI: 0.68–0.94) and ARNI (HR: 0.80, 95% CrI: 0.68–0.95) reduced the risk vs. OM; furthermore, there was a trend for a greater benefit of SGLT2i vs. vericiguat (HR: 0.88, 95% CrI: 0.73–1.00) and ivabradine vs. OM (HR: 0.84, 95% CrI: 0.68–1.00). Results were comparable in a random-effects model and in sensitivity analyses. SUCRA scores were 81.8%, 80.8%, 68.9%, 44.2%, 16.6%, and 7.8% for SGLT2i, ARNI, ivabradine, vericiguat, OM, and NEUi, respectively. Conclusions Expanding pharmacotherapy beyond NEUi improves outcomes in HFrEF with CKD. 633 Figure

Abstract Background Angiotensin receptor and neprilysin inhibition (ARNI) reduces the risk of cardiovascular mortality among patients with heart failure with reduced ejection fraction (HFrEF) as compared with enalapril in the PARADIGM-HF trial. However, patients with glomerular filtration rate (GFR) less than 30 ml/min/1.73 m2 or systolic blood pressure less than 100 mmHg were excluded from the PARADIGM-HF trial. We assessed the potential beneficial effects of ARNI in HFrEF patients with advanced chronic kidney disease (GFR<30 ml/min/1.73 m2) by using a multicenter real-world data in Taiwan. Methods The TAROT-HF (Treatment with Angiotensin Receptor neprilysin inhibitor for Taiwan Heart Failure patients) study is a multicenter study which enrolled 1,694 HFrEF patients on ARNI treatment from 9 hospitals between March 2017 and December 2018. The data was compared to the outcome from the TSOC (the Taiwan Society of Cardiology)-HFrEF registry which enrolled 1,509 HFrEF patients from 21 hospitals between 2013 and 2014 prior to era of ARNI. After 1:1 propensity score matching, a total of 1,198 patients from the TAROT-HF study and 1,198 patients from the TSOC-HFrEF registry were included for analysis. Results During the 1 -year follow-up, the TAROT-HF cohort showed a significant superior prognosis on cardiovascular (CV) death (6.8% vs 10.6%, p<0.001) and all-cause death (8.5% vs 16.2, p<0.001) as compared with the TSOC-HFrEF study population. The patients were classified into 4 groups according to the renal function with eGFR values of <30, 30–59, 60–89, and ≥90 ml/min/1.73m2, and there was no significant interaction between matched cohorts and renal function. The beneficial effects of ARNI on CV death and all-cause death were consistent across four eGFR groups, including 387 patients with eGFR<30 ml/min/1.73m2 (16.2%). Conclusions Our study demonstrated the effectiveness of ARNI on HFrEF patients in real world experience, including those with advanced chronic kidney disease with eGFR<30 ml/min/1.73m2.

Abstract Background Beta-blockers reduce mortality and morbidity in patients with heart failure (HF) with reduced ejection fraction (HFrEF). However, patients with advanced chronic kidney disease (CKD) were underrepresented in landmark trials. Purpose We evaluated if beta-blockers are associated with improved survival and cardiovascular outcomes in patients with HFrEF and advanced CKD, and if potential benefits of beta-blockers would extend also to HFpEF and HFmrEF with advanced CKD. Methods We identified 3906 persons with an ejection fraction <40% and advanced CKD (eGFR <30 mL/min/1.73m2) enrolled in the Swedish Heart Failure Registry during 2001–2016. We did not exclude patients with atrial fibrillation. The associations between beta-blocker use, 5-year all-cause mortality, and the composite of time to cardiovascular (CV) mortality/first HF hospitalization were assessed by multivariable Cox regression. Analyses were adjusted for 36 variables, including demographics, laboratory measures, comorbidities, medication use, medical procedures, and socioeconomic status. To assess consistency, the same analyses were performed in a positive control cohort of 12,673 patients with moderate CKD (eGFR <60–30 mL/min/1.73m2). Analyses were repeated in individuals with HF with preserved ejection fraction (HFpEF; EF ≥50%) or midrange ejection fraction (HFmrEF; EF 40–49%). Results In HFrEF and advanced CKD, 89% received beta-blockers. Overall, median (IQR) age was 81 (74–86) years, 36% were women and median eGFR was 26 (20–28) ml/min/1.73m2. During a median of 1.3 years follow-up, 2086 (53.4%) individuals had a subsequent HF hospitalization, and 2954 (75.6%) individuals died, of which 2089 (70.1%) due to cardiovascular causes. Beta-blocker use was associated with a significant reduction in 5-year all-cause mortality [adjusted hazard ratio (HR) 0.86; 95% confidence interval (CI) 0.76–0.96)] and CV mortality/HF hospitalization (HR 0.87; 95% CI 0.77–0.98). The magnitude of the associations between beta-blocker use and outcomes was similar to that observed for HFrEF patients with mild/moderate CKD [all-cause mortality: 0.85 (95% CI 0.78–0.91); CV mortality/HF hospitalization: 0.88 (95% CI 0.82–0.96)]. Adjusted HRs were 0.88 (95% CI 0.77–1.02) and 1.07 (95% CI 0.92–1.24) for individuals with HFpEF and advanced CKD and 0.95 (95% CI 0.80–1.13) and 1.13 (95% CI 0.94–1.36) for individuals with HFmrEF and advanced CKD, for all-cause mortality and CV mortality/HF hospitalization, respectively. Conclusion Despite lack of trial evidence, the use of beta-blockers in patients with HFrEF and advanced CKD was high in routine Swedish care, and was independently associated with reduced mortality to the same degree as HFrEF with moderate CKD. However, these benefits were not observed in patients with HFpEF or HFmrEF with severe CKD. Funding Acknowledgement Type of funding source: None
